Step-by-step explanation
Solution:

Step 1:
Use the Kepler's third Law
P2 = a3 where:
P = measurement in earth years
a = distance in units of AU

Step 2
Substitute the value
(Since we are looking for the orbital radius, we will use the formula a3 = P2)
a3 = P2
a3 = (163.78)2
a3 = 26,823.8884

Step 3
Get the cube root of your answer in step 2 to get the appropriate value "a"
cube root of 26,823.8884 = 29.9 AU

How does climate affect the rate of weathering
slava [35]
Rainfall and temperature can affect the rate in which rocks weather. High temperatures and greater rainfall increase the rate of chemical weathering. 2. Rocks in tropical regions exposed to abundant rainfall and hot temperatures weather much faster than similar rocks residing in cold, dry regions.
